A Little Birdie Told Me...

Don't you just love this little bird?! I made this card for a Stamp-A-Stack I did recently for my sister Kerri and her friends. My sister has little ones (a boy and a girl) and they are always getting invited to B-day parties, so she wanted a generic b-day card that she could use for a boy or a girl. I hope this was generic enough! Plus, she loves it when I have them make cards that they can put gift cards in or movie tickets, etc. So I designed this card to have a section on the bottom where you can slide in a gift card, money or movie tickets. But I wanted the card to be able to stand up too.

I used a 4.25 x 11 inch piece of Brilliant Blue card stock and scored it at 5.5, 8.25, and 8.75. I accordion folded at the score lines. I think I might need to create a video tutorial for this card, because it's hard to write up the instructions. I'll work on the instructions this week and maybe I can take some pictures as I go to help explain. Or I'll wait till my daughter is home from college this weekend with her digital camera that also records video with voice and she can help me post it to You Tube. It would be my first tutorial of any kind!
